Top, Im gonna stop you from being castrated by one of the female posters here for being a total dink.
It is no where near uncommon for women to miss their period. Medication, naturally occuring health conditions, over excersice and yes, being overweight.
Yes this women is....zaftig, so she probably had been missing her period due to weight issues, but so what? Until you scan in your Beauty Pagent 1st place certificate, shut up over other peoples looks. You just make yourself look like an ass.

I have to side with Toprem. There are people who are overweight, and then there are people like this woman. With the exception of the cause being a medical condition 420 pounds is not fat or overweight, it's a complete lack of self control and will power. I fully realize there are people out there who try damned hard and can't get much done but those people do generally stay under 300 pounds. 400 is just absurd and the fact that it is becoming more common in American culture leaves me with little sympathy. I'm a nerd that spends way too much time in front of a computer and even I have to say "Get off your ass and do something."
Heck, just before christmas here a woman gave birth. She had no idea she was pregnant and apparently it didn't show at all with her. She was slightly overweight but still within a range where she was just a little chubby, not a walking mountain of lard. So it happens. As for the particular story you're refering to, no comment on that specifically. Just saying in general yes, women do sometimes give birth without having had a clue they were pregnant and neither did anyone else around them. It's rare, but it happens.
Edit: That one just before christmas... she went to see her doctor about some symptoms that made her think maybe she was sick. Her doctor, her frigging doctor!! He didn't suspect she was pregnant either, had no clue and chalked it up to a change in her medication.

missing 1, maybe 2 periods at most, but 9 months of periods missed? no, thats just dumb, to not have a period for 9 months and think your body is still ok or that your not pregnant...does this make sense? and this does happen often enough, that is, women who go through 9 months and have no clue they are pregnant, and its usually those who nobody could possibly tell is pregnant, like this woman.
You don't have to win a beauty pagent to comment on someones looks, you just have to be better looking than that person.
Or just be an ass. Either works.

I wonder if theres any health risks to the baby because of that long term and the sort, or if its even better more protection in the womb or something.

First let's forget all about the periods, frankly they're wierd and different for every woman so it's entirely possible that's not unbelievable.
Second what about the 3-4 months she would have been feeling the baby MOVE inside of her?!?! THAT'S where the true stupidity comes from.
I find it believable enough that a 420 pound woman wouldn't notice a size difference, she should perhaps notice the higher frequency of urination.
Third, what is with that stupid doctor going on about prenatal care? Quite frankly humans have made it a few thousand years now without any prenatal care, the idea that a woman could reach full term without it shouldn't be even remotely suprising.
now i'm no expert, but don't women undergo routine check-ups to see if the baby's in full health when pregnant? i'm more concerned here about the baby's condition and whether or not it's in okay shape at this point...

My wife has gone anywhere from six months to a year without having a period. After the first time it happened and her doctor told her she wasn't pregnant and there was nothing horribly wrong, she just did a home pregnancy test and went about her business if it happened again.
Some women continue to spot through out their pregnancy so if that were the case she might have just thought she was having light periods.
While I find it rather absurd that she wouldn't know she was pregnant I'm in no way really surprised given how different every pregnancy is.
I've been to WAY too many OB/GYN appointments with my wife.
Not uncommon apparently - around here you wind up hearing stories of women (usually young) who didn't know they were pregnant. Of course, the news blurb usually starts with an infant being found in a Dumpster somewhere (which I find tragic considering that we have programs where any hospital, firehouse, and police station will take an unwanted child, no questions asked.)

I accidently pulled this on a larger lady here at work.
We were talking about some project and commented that she wouldent be in the next week because she was probably going to be on maternity leave.
My brainac reply? "OH your pregenant? Congradulations"
Right aftar I said it I realized what I stealthfully stated she was such a fatass I didnt notice. She took it in stride though. Didnt keep me from feeling like a total dink though.
I wish I could understand how they can't feel the baby move. My daughter was doing double bass drum solos from about month 5 onward. I know when you're heavier, you don't feel the kicks as early, but eventually you feel them just as well as a skinny person. 'Cause the kid is like, kicking your bladder and other vital parts.
Being a woman myself... **** I would go to my obgyn if I was missing periods randomly or such because that is signs of things being screwed up down there.
Dorla... maybe all of her lard was like.... an antifeeling cushion... or maybe she thought it was gas (giggles)
A year or so back, a nurse had the same thing happen to her and she was dating a doctor. She didn't realize she was pregnant until in labor. It happens. Due to stress and long hours working, she never once felt the a baby kick or any other movement that would clue her in. She was maybe 10-20 pounds over weight, no normal symptoms of pregnancy at all.
The human body can do some freaky things - if a person can have a 90 pound tumor and not realize it until surgery, why is this shocking?
Clailya - some women *never* have had a normal cycle. A friend of mine had cysts removed at age 16. She went an entire 18 months once without 1 period. It can happen. She was just darn glad when she was able to get pregnant later in life because of scaring.
I had a friend once almost fall on the floor laughing when I made the joke about her missed period might mean shes pregnant. Her response was "Honey, Im no where near regular with my cycle".
If you don't know you are pregnant, something is wrong with you. If your "cycle" is off that much, that you don't recognize it being off, you should seek medical attention before having sexual relations that could lead to pregnancy.
Yes, women's cycles have strange patterns and every woman's cycle is different (being amount, or frequency (or lack of in either department)) but anything outside your own norm should definately be followed up with a visit to your OB/GYN
Maybe I am wrong because I am a guy, but frankly if anything about my body's secretions change, I'm asking a doc about it. Overweight is not an excuse for not knowing your own body.
Guys, I'm just wondering if maybe you think there might be a reason why most of the women (who presumably have personal lifelong experience at being female) think that thing with wildly unregular periods and the female body being quite frankly a mess by nature being normal while all the men (who presumably do NOT have personal lifelong experience at being female... I hope!) think it's completely unnatural?
Let me tell you right now, I've had doctors examinations where the doctor's asked "does that hurt?" while touching an obviously badly bruised area and I've been unable to answer it until a few hours later that yes, it hurt quite a bit because it takes that long for my body to fully register the pain and realize it as pain. Yes, I'm that out of touch with my body by nature. They have technical words for it and all, and yes, it's a condition and not normal to most women however... While I would agree it's most certainly unusual not to realize you're pregnant... well for someone like me I can sooo totally understand how it could happen. And while my periods have always been pretty regular I know of female friends and family who've had incredibly irregular periods to a point where 9 months without them? Not the slightest bit unusual for some of them and nothing that would cause alarm or doubt on it's own - and no, they haven't been like medical conditions you could go to and take the fix-your-periods pill from the doctor. Women just tend to be radically different in this area and I believe it's one of the reasons pharmacutical companies don't like to test their drugs on women, too many individual variations to account for.

Women with PCOS can commonly go 6, 9 or 12 months without a period, unless they take medicine to force theirbody to have one. There are numerous other conditions that can cause that problem.
Government is like an anus; it’s necessary, but it’s never going to be anything pretty or worth celebrating.

Well then if you were a woman who never had normal periods and you all of a sudden started having them you'd go to the doc?
I knew all you women sat around talking about your periods no wonder why women are pmsy all month long now days.
Oh trust me, half the time such discussions are initiated by an appology because someone went full blast on someone else or someone's been practically on the floor in a fetal position due to cramps from hell* and is explaining why such a thing is happening now but wasn't happening last month.
*If there was a female equivalent to a kick in the nuts it would be some super martial arts ability to cause massive cramps just by looking at a woman. Of course any man who were to learn this fearsome ability would be hunted down and seperated from his genitalia before he had the chance to share his knowledge with others - but that goes without saying.
Well then if you were a woman who never had normal periods and you all of a sudden started having them you'd go to the doc?
Yes.
Knowing your body and what is normal for your body is part of being healthy. But I guess being 420 pounds is not being healthy, so my previous remarks aren't relevant in this case.
NO! THAT'S IT! All you uppity women telling us men how your body works will stop that **** now! We dictate your menstruation, what is or isn't natural, and we say unequivocally that 9 months without a period should make you go to the doctor, you fat stupid slob idiot women who don't know anything!
And put on a skirt for god's sake, pants are for men.
